Waller Marine, Inc. announced the successful installation of its recently constructed floating power generation barges into a prepared basin at Tacoa, Venezuela. The two 171 MW barges, The Margarita I and the Josefa Rufina I, will become the world's largest floating power generation facility, each supporting a GE 7FA duel fuel industrial gas turbine, and will supply much needed power to Caracas.

Waller Marine is a world leader in the design and construction of power barges. In 2010, Waller Marine, Inc. was awarded the contract to construct what would become the largest floating power plant in the world. The project consisted of building two 300' x 100' barges, each equipped with GE 7FA turbines, that have a combined power generating capacity in excess of 340 MegaWatts of electricity. This was the first time that GE 7FA turbines were ever installed on a mobile platform. The barges were built at the Signal International yard in Orange, TX and were launched in 180 days. Waller Marine designed and managed the construction of the barges, along with the installation of the power plants on the barges, utilizing over 900 men working in shifts, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. This video shows the highlights and progress of the construction, the launch of the barges and their subsequent movement by tug and heavy lift vessel.
Since 1974, Waller Marine, Inc. has set the standard for high quality in Naval Architecture and Marine Services. The company employs a diverse group of professionals to satisfy the multiple discipline practices associated with design, construction management, regulatory assistance, project development and contractual compliance in the marine transportation and offshore industries.

Powership

A powership is an existing ship that has been modified for power generation, a marine vessel, on which a power plant is installed to serve as a power generation resource. Converted from existing ships, powerships are self-propelled, ready to go infrastructure for developing countries that plug into national grids where required. Unmotorised powerships, known as power barges, are power plants installed on a deck barge. These are sometimes called "floating power plants" or "barge mounted power plants". They were initially developed during World War II by General Electric for the War Production Board as a transportable large-scale power generation resource.

Floating Power

Floating Power was a technology developed in the 1920s by the United Statesautomobile firm of Chrysler, credited mostly to the engineering of Owen Ray Skelton. It was a new means of attaching an engine to its chassis, with the intention of reducing vibration. Four-cylinder engines of the day started and rode rather roughly, transmitting the torque to the whole chassis. By attaching the engine at only two points ("fore-and-aft"), on two points defining an axis that passes through the engine's center of mass, the engine would be able to rotate slightly about this axis and reduce the transmission of torsional vibration to the chassis. One mounting attachment was at the upper front of the engine, directly below the water pump. The rear mount was under the transmission case. A transverse spring went from the bottom of the engine to a rubber lined snubber bracket on the frame rail to limit the rotational travel of the engine.

Advertisers gave this concept its brand name. It was used on the Plymouth and other Chrysler Corporation cars starting in the 1930s. The French firm of Citroën leased the technology for its front-wheel drive car of the 1930s.

History

The world's first power station was designed and built by Lord Armstrong at Cragside, England in 1868. Water from one of the lakes was used to power Siemensdynamos. The electricity supplied power to lights, heating, produced hot water, ran an elevator as well as labor-saving devices and farm buildings.

The power barge not solution to power crises Dr. E. Mahama - 22/6/2016

Unique RC Work Barge Boat (躉船) in the World, Only existed in Hong Kong, with Boat Builder Interview

This work barge (Chinese: 躉船) refers as floating platform on the water, the hull is mostly made of iron, the bottom of the vessel is relatively flat, not for ocean navigation. Most are used as a landing platform for cargo transfer or cross water channel and other purposes. Because there is usually no power device, mobile need to tug or other external assistance. A specially lifting crane used for transferring cargo from cargo ships that can not be docked and transferred to the pier on land.
And, during fireworks display in special days, it served as a launching deck on Victoria harbour, usually three of these vessels form at a row.
Also, international dragon boat race festival, these vessels can be served as sea-wave-barrier.

This week we conclude our 3-part hunting injury series with a look at dealing with gun shot wounds and tourniquets. Then, Larry and the crew from Mike'sCountry Meats head over to Genoa, WI on the Mississippi River to do some fishing off Clement's FishingBarge; a great way to catch fish while having room to roam and enjoying the company of a large group of anglers. Enjoy the show!

Bases at The Barge Part 3 Danielle la Verite 2015

Bases at The Barge concludes with the controversial Danielle la Verite, in a rare public appearance and a bid for charity, The Barge Defib Unit, by sending bids in to miles @thebasesproject.org for MariaWheatley's latest booklet, donated by Maria. (offer ends July 1st)
Have fun and take a serious listen to Danielle.
Here she gives a serious and informed talk on herself and ends with a fun election summary before we all got rushed off the premises due to a crisis double booking by the local vicar's Husband. Comedy at its height, HUSBAND!
Danielle had a 'Man In Black' (MiB) attack only days before her appearance here.

Waller Marine Power Barges

Waller Marine is a world leader in the design and construction of power barges. In 2010, Waller Marine, Inc. was awarded the contract to construct what would become the largest floating power plant in the world. The project consisted of building two 300' x 100' barges, each equipped with GE 7FA turbines, that have a combined power generating capacity in excess of 340 MegaWatts of electricity. This was the first time that GE 7FA turbines were ever installed on a mobile platform. The barges were built at the Signal International yard in Orange, TX and were launched in 180 days. Waller Marine designed and managed the construction of the barges, along with the installation of the power plants on the barges, utilizing over 900 men working in shifts, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. This video shows the highlights and progress of the construction, the launch of the barges and their subsequent movement by tug and heavy lift vessel.
Since 1974, Waller Marine, Inc. has set the standard for high quality in Naval Architecture and Marine Services. The company employs a diverse group of professionals to satisfy the multiple discipline practices associated with design, construction management, regulatory assistance, project development and contractual compliance in the marine transportation and offshore industries.

ABOITIZ POWER BARGE

This is the view of the aboitiz power barge in Maco Compostela Province.

Heading out of Sechelt's Porpoise Bay, (where we tie up next to the LighthouseMarine Pub), back to Campbell River. The tide, and associated CurrentVelocity is not always in your favour. This is time to use 'local knowledge' to gain atvantage with back eddies. These 'back eddies' circulate and flow the opposite way of the tidal flow and if you know how to ride the edges, the push off the points and shoals and the locations of the hard spots, these eddies are crucial to getting anywhere!
If you don't use them you'll use a large amount more of fuel and maybe not even be able to buck it at all. Ging backwards is not usually an option or accepted
But itis known to happen
